The AI Agent Everyone Will Be Using Soon

Make AI agents enable comprehensive automation of content repurposing workflows by connecting various AI models and applications, significantly reducing manual effort.

• Make AI agents automate content repurposing by integrating AI models and external applications.

• Customizable system prompts and context documents ensure consistent tone and style in repurposed content.

• Agents can automatically generate new content, post to social media, and send notifications, streamlining workflows.

Make AI agents provide a powerful platform for building customizable AI assistants that automate complex workflows, adapting in real time and integrating with over 2000 apps. The process involves selecting an AI model, crafting a detailed system prompt, providing contextual writing style examples, and integrating tools as either single-action modules or multi-step scenarios. This allows for full automation, such as repurposing YouTube scripts into shorts and LinkedIn posts, posting them, and sending Slack notifications, eliminating tedious manual steps.

Building an AI Agent

• 00:01:35 Building an AI agent on the Make platform involves selecting an AI model, with OpenAI's ChatGPT 5 Mini recommended for its balance of intelligence, speed, and affordability. A crucial step is defining the 'system prompt,' which clearly instructs the agent on its task, such as repurposing YouTube scripts into specific formats like 60-second shorts and LinkedIn posts, and outlining subsequent actions like posting and notifications.

• 00:03:34 Adding 'context' to an AI agent is essential for it to mimic a specific writing style, tone, and reading level. This involves providing the agent with a sample of your writing, which can be analyzed by ChatGPT to generate a detailed style guide document. Uploading this document to the Make agent ensures that all repurposed content adheres to the desired stylistic parameters, maintaining consistency across various outputs.

• 00:07:37 Make AI agents gain significant power through 'tools,' which allow them to connect to other services and perform actions. Tools can be implemented as either 'modules' for simple, single actions (e.g., creating a new Google Doc, posting to LinkedIn, sending a Slack message) or 'scenarios' for multi-step workflows. Scenarios enable complex operations, such as extracting content from a Google Doc using its file ID, providing the agent with the ability to make decisions and complete tasks across various applications.

• 00:18:20 To ensure continuous operation, an agent requires a 'run agent' scenario that automatically triggers based on a specific event, such as a new file being created in a designated Google Drive folder. This scenario, scheduled to run at desired intervals, feeds the file ID to the AI agent, prompting it to execute its repurposing workflow. The output of this automation includes a new Google Doc with the repurposed content (e.g., YouTube short script and LinkedIn post) and real-time Slack notifications confirming task completion and providing links to the generated content.
